Endless Legend 2 Update 42 Adds Free Welcome Pack Pets and Fixes Desyncs
Endless Legend 2 Update 42 delivers free cosmetic companion pets for new saves, fixes frequent multiplayer desyncs, and resolves faction quest bugs.
Endless Legend 2 receives Update 42, bringing free cosmetic companion pets for heroes, multiplayer stability fixes, and balance adjustments for faction quests and economies.
Cosmetic Pets Added
All players receive the Welcome Pack Pets for free. These small creatures accompany heroes on adventures across Saiadha as pure aesthetics. You can add them through your hero inventory in new games, or disable them entirely in the content management tab.
Multiplayer and Stability Fixes
The update resolves one of the most common multiplayer desync causes, which stemmed from hero names. Lobby player cards now display correctly when joining sessions with custom factions. The patch also addresses a random save load crash, a crash when razing ruins, and 27 additional technical issues, exceptions, and stability problems.
Economy and Research Adjustments
The scientific population preset now functions correctly. The Aspect quest reward trait Star Citizens no longer scales improperly with population counts. The Geology research discount works as intended, and Communal Habitations now properly display population slots gained in the tutorial. In addition, the patch removes leftover corpses when consuming cities as the Severed Claws and fixes swapped illustrations for the Consortium Hero and Elder.
Quest and Objective Balance
Chapter 6 of the Aspect main quest now requires reaching the highest empire approval rank instead of covering two territories in coral. Chapter 6 of the Sandshapers main quest now requires owning 15 territories instead of 15 cities. Missing current values in objectives like A Bitter Truth are restored, and event choices no longer display incorrect rewards from other options.
World and Diplomacy Corrections
Sand ruins no longer block the construction of improvements or districts invisibly. Meeting an eliminated empire for the first time no longer softlocks the game. Visual glitches for the Order of Zelevas and Severed Claws when their cities are ransacked are also resolved.
Why this patch matters
Update 42 clears out persistent bugs and desync issues while adding optional cosmetic flair for players starting fresh runs.
